COLUMBUS, Ohio (CNN) – After country singer Gretchen Wilson performed at a Sarah Palin rally in Columbus on Sunday, Palin was sure to give a shout-out to John McCain, who put on a show of his own last night on Saturday Night Live.

“Now speaking of great performances, did anyone catch John McCain last night on SNL, 'Saturday Night Live?'” Palin asked the crowd. “He was such a pro in those skits there with Tina Fey.”

Palin advised Fey not to count on staying with her day job on “30 Rock.”

“And a little advise for Tina,” Palin said. “We want her to make sure that she’s holding on to that Sarah outfit, because she’s going to need it in the next four years.”
